That was an amazing analysis 👏
Coming to what I think of Maat here, I didn't find either Saman, Faisal or even Aiman to be larger than life.
When we think of Aiman, we call her self-destructive, ever-sacrificing and even dumb. But considering the situations, I found her reactions realistic. Yes, she did make a sacrifice by letting Saman be with Faisal, but what if she would have let things happen otherwise? She would have made them unhappy and not been happy herself either. If ending up with Faisal, she would have had a bad marriage, and if not, Saman would have definitely eloped (She did with Azhar, so we know she could).
Next is sacrificing a great proposal for Hadid. It was solely coz she had got way too attached to him. Motherly love took over practicality, but then it was her own choice, not really a sacrifice.
Marriage to Faisal was solely for Hadid too...
Her breakdown was primarily because Hadid had apparently let her love down, coz inspite of Faisal's coldness all those years, it was him whom she had doted upon and expected everything from. And her last words to Saman brought out all her inner frustration piled up all these years, when she said she won't be melting before her now and will never let her talk to Hadid.
That sounded cruel, but was justified after all that was done to her.
Faisal? Yes he was stupid, yes he was selfish. But then we are very familiar with a term called male ego. A man can never get over the fact that he was dumped for another and will do anything to get over it.
Let me quote Rafia from ZGH, we work hard and change our status, so that the way people behave with us also changes, so we should not be surprised when that happens.
Azhar had correctly pointed out, that Faisal is capable of making twenty out of ten, not ten thousand. So what drove him to that? Simply Saman's rejection...
It constantly lingered in his mind, making him blind to everything else, let alone Aiman's efforts. When Saman came back to him, his prize was achieved, and his eyes opened, realising there was more around him than just Saman, which he would definitely miss when gone...
Saman, a totally extreme character, also seems completely existable to me. All of us dream of spending our lives in luxury. But when a choice comes, we choose what's more apt for us. Saman knew that all she needed was a life of utmost comfort. She did whatever she could for that. Remember, she didn't dump Azhar even after knowing he hadn't divorced his first wife, coz her materialistic needs were more important than her ethical choices.
She returned to Faisal, when she had no option left, to be welcomed by him, for reasons I stated above. Her supposed repentance, again was because, Faisal was no longer the loving one anymore due to losing all he had just to gain Saman.
So it were all circumstances that led to the rightful retribution, the Sheh aur Maat...
